A 1.2 m tall girl spots a balloon moving with the wind in a horizontal line at a height of 88.2 m from the ground.the angle of elevation of the balloon from the eye of the girl at any instant is 60°. After some time,the angle of elevation reduces to 30°. Find the distance traveled by the balloon during the interval.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a question on Trigonometry.
The height of the right angled triangle formed is :
88.2 - 1.2 = 87m
That is in the difference between the height of the girl and the balloon.
We need to get the horizontal distance when the angle of elevation is 60°.
We use the trigonometric ratios.
We use Tan.
Tan = opposite / adjacent
Opposite = height = 87m
Opposite = Horizontal distance.
Now :
Tan 60 = 87/H
H = 87/Tan 60 = 50.229 M
When the angle of elevation is 30°
H = 87/Tan 30 = 150.688M
The distance traveled is the difference between the two distances.
150.688 - 50.229 = 100.459 M
